What is the name of your state? TX
Have lived in my house for 2 years. Was a new house. Have not had issues with A/C I typically keep in summer months at 80-82 degrees. This year I turned down to 75 and A/C never got temp below 80. I had an A/C company come put and check the unit. The unit itself checks out fine, freon levels are perfect. This company says that the unit is to small for the house. Unit is 3.5 ton unit supposily designed for up to 1700 sq ft. My home is 2 story 2800 sq ft. My builder states that the A/C unit is fine for the house due to the way the build and insulate the home. However if the temp are high in mid summer months that the A/C will not keep temp down during peak times.
My question is. Will my builder have to replace the A/C unit with an appropriate size or add an additional unit? Shouldnt an A/C unit for a home be able to keep the temp down low if a resident wants?
Any advice?
